Mnemonists - Gyromancy "The Mnemonists were a legendary group of composers and artists from Fort Collins, Colorado, who went on to call themselves Biota.

Cutler, Chris / Fred Frith - Two Gentlemen In Verona CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “There must have been something special going on in Verona last April; neither of these old sparring partners from Henry Cow and Art Bears can remember anything about this concert! By far the most aggressive of their duo albums, it leads us via howling fuzz guitar and machine gun percussion into walls of post-rock improvisation, obsessive industrial rhythms, and levels of excitement rarely generated by two people on a stage.
